A two-dimensional cyanide-bridged Cu(Ⅱ)-Pt(Ⅱ) bimetallic complex has been synthesized by solution diffusion method using [Pt (CN)4]2- and [Cu (L)]2+ (L =3,10-diethanol-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane) as building blocks. Unexpectedly, the obtained complex Cu(DMF)2[Pt(CN)4] (1) is an analogue of the well-known Hofmann -type clathrate without macrocyclic ligand. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/m, a=1.624 8(6) nm, b=0.739 3(3) nm, c=0.695 5(3) nm, β=108.969(4)°. The crystal structure of 1 consists of two-dimensional corrugated metal cyanide sheets without interpenetration stacking along the a axis in an ABAB packing mode.
